The signal processing and error analysis of arc turning flying for Doppler beam sharping (DBS) are described in the paper. As a sort of synthetic aperture radar, DBS is different from strip or spotlight mapping. The analytical expressions of DBS processing for both the inside arc turning and outside arc turning flying are given. The computer simulation of arc turning flying with an acceleration of 3g was performed on an IBM-PC. The results showed that the error of arc turning flying of DBS can be made negligibly small.
